FAQs
What happens if the weather is bad?
Programs run rain or shine — some of the best surf conditions happen during rain showers. Your guides reserve the right to make the call on acceptable conditions for the day, and will work with you to make sure you're getting value from the time spent together. Thunderstorms are the most common reason for cancellation, at about 3 days per season; exact same-day weather check-in times vary by program (see the Cancellation Policy section on this listing for specifics). For kids' camps, campers are evacuated from the beach at the first report of lightning and parents are contacted for pickup.
Are the instructors certified?
Yes. All staff members are Certified Lifesavers trained in CPR and First Aid, and the team works closely with local lifeguards and first aid squads to help keep campers and students safe.
Is instruction on how to use the gear included?
Yes. All programs include hands-on instruction on surfboard handling and technique appropriate to the participant's level — no prior gear knowledge is required to get started.
Is a waiver required?
Yes. Due to the inherent risks of surfing and beach activities, a waiver must be signed before participating.
Can I book a private lesson with a friend or family member?
Yes. Private lessons are available for a single surfer or for two surfers sharing one instructor.
Do I need any prior experience?
No prior experience is required. Because private lessons are one-on-one (or two-on-one) with a dedicated instructor, the lesson is tailored to the student's current ability, whether that's a first-timer or someone refining specific skills.
Cancellation Policy
CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING POLICIES
🌊 At Summertime Surf, we are understanding of life’s uncertainties and are stoked to extend a friendly cancellation and rescheduling policy to our students.
🌤️Please understand that credit paid towards programs are not interchangeable, i.e. camp credits cannot be used for a private lesson.
Note that if a student is more than 30 minutes late for any scheduled program, no refund will be granted.
Private Lessons, Classes & Clubs Cancellation & Rescheduling:
Notify Summertime Surf at least 72 hours ahead of time to reschedule with no administrative fee or to obtain a full refund
All rescheduling is pending availability
There is no rescheduling or cancellations 72 hours before your scheduled surf session.
"No shows" are NOT eligible for a refund.
In the event Summertime cancels for any reason (e.g. unsafe weather), participants are eligible for a makeup session at a later date at no charge, pending availability.
Please Note:
🌤️ WEATHER AND OCEAN CONSIDERATIONS:
All programs operate rain or shine; some of the best surf conditions are during rain showers.
🌊 Summertime Surf has a wealth of experience operating in the ever-changing beach and ocean environments, and reserves the right to make the call on what we deem acceptable conditions for surfing. Your program manager will work with you to make sure that you are getting value in the time spent together.
⛈️ Thunderstorms are the most common reason for program cancellation (about 3 days per season). On days that have a thunderstorm threat, please check the website for weather updates at 6:30AM for 7:30 AM programming, 7:30AM for all morning programming, and 11:30AM for all afternoon programming.
Miscellaneous Considerations:
At Summertime Surf, we try to provide the best possible experience for each individual student and participant. Safety is our number one priority, and our instructors have been trained to be patient and encouraging with students of all skill levels. With over fifteen years of experience, we have been able to transform many apprehensive students into watermen and women. That being said, in the extreme circumstance that a student is completely uncooperative, disruptive to other student’s experience, or unwilling to listen to instructors directions, and as a result of such, poses a possible safety issue for themselves or the other campers, we reserve the right to refuse their entry to camp for the remainder of the session, week, and/or future bookings, with no refund available. It takes a group effort to make camp as memorable as it can be, so we look forward to you and your camper’s positive energy.
